A $93,609 version of the electric F-150 shows how a big battery and two motors can turn America’s most popular vehicle into a better pickup truck.
finally feels like more than a supersized and motorized wheelbarrow. Electrifying this truck has imparted a sense of luxury-car isolation and sport-sedan intensity. One second it's sailing serenely down the freeway, the next it's charging furiously toward triple-digit speeds.
It does this despite gaining about 1,400 pounds over a comparable gas F-150, and although we'd normally bristle at the idea of a vehicle getting almost 30 percent heavier, the Lightning is unquestionably better for it. The 131-kWh battery anchors the Platinum with a low center of gravity and balanced weight distribution that presses the General Grabber HTS 60 M+S tires into the pavement with nearly equal pressure.
Although the Lightning has ample range for most drivers' daily needs, anyone planning to use the F-150 as a true work truck or even just as the family people hauler needs to understand the reality of the 300-mile range claim. As with all EVs, the Platinum's official range is based on laboratory tests that mimic a combination of city and highway driving. Load up and set out for a cross-country drive or a weekend at the cottage, and you'll likely be stopping sooner than that.
